You Better Keep It On Your Mind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now if you go out and start a playing around
Your baby?s gonna tear your playhouse down
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You?ll be moanin? and a groanin?
Lord, you better keep it on your mind
Now wrong is wrong and right is right
If you make a snake mad he?s sure gonna bite
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You better keep it on your mind all the time
I?ve had it proven to me
Lord you better keep it on your mind
Every fuss with a woman has got the same ole end
I don?t believe the good Lord meant for a man to win
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You?ll be singing blue and lonesome
Lord, you better keep it on your mind
If you make your baby mad and she says goodbye
There ain?t a thing you can do but sit at home and cry
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You better call her sweet mama
Lord, you better keep it on your mind
If the judge says, "Pay her forty dollars a week"
You?ll dig up the money or you?ll work the streets
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You better keep it on your mind all the time
When you?re wearing striped britches
Son, it?s gonna stay on your mind
So kiss her every mornin? and love her every night
Boy, you can?t win no matter if you?re right
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You better keep it on your mind all the time
You better heed this warning
Lord, you better keep it on your mind
